Consultants assessing Covid vaccine damage claims on behalf of the NHS have been paid millions more than the victims, it has emerged, after US-based Crawford and Company dismissed more than 98% of cases.
Reform Party leader Richard Tice has called for former Health Secretary Matt Hancock to apologise over his handling of the COVID-19 vaccine rollout, calling it "horrendous at every level".
Health Secretary Wes Streeting is looking at changing the law regarding compensation for people harmed by Covid vaccines amid concern it doesn't offer enough support, with just £120,000 available for those "60%" disabled.
A mother-of-three is struggling to survive on the compensation she received after being left paralysed and forced to medically retire from work following the AstraZeneca Covid jab.
The Vaccine Damage Payment Scheme, which helps those left disabled after having a vaccine and families of those who died, is to be reviewed after a massive rise in claims following the Covid jab rollout.
94% of claims to the Government's vaccine injury payment scheme are rejected, many because they are not "60% disabled". Mark Kerry, whose pre-vaccine life is gone forever, is one of them – read his story.
The Government has responded to a petition calling on it to "remove indemnity from the manufacturers of COVID-19 vaccines" by clarifying that "individuals’ right to sue the producers of the vaccine" has not been removed.
More than a year later and the Government still has yet to pay out any compensation to those injured or bereaved by the vaccines, even where a medical diagnosis or coroner's report confirms the vaccine's role.
